The Betway Summer Cup is on Saturday, 30 November 2024.
Rachel Venniker is the first official jockey declaration for the 2024 Betway Summer Cup. She will be riding ZEUS for trainer Fabian Habib.
Mike de Kock annunces that DAVE THE KING has been withdrawn from the Betway Summer Cup but will run in another race on the day.
The final Betway Summer Cup entries close at 09h00 on Monday, 18 November 2024, after which weights will be announced.
Declarations must be in by 11h00 on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 and barrier draws will be conducted at a Betway event on 20 November 2024.
Mike de Kock said, "DAVE THE KING will be running in a Pinnacle Plate over 1400m on Summer Cup day which is part of the build-up for his main target, the 2025 King's Plate on Saturday, 4 January. He is doing very well at home. The Turffontein 2000 is just too testing for him, and the owners are fully in agreement on running him in the Pinnacle Plate."
"He's [ZEUS] a striking horse and he has top form over ground. I am looking forward to the big day," says Rachel Venniker.
